Chapter 302: The Jailer's Wisdom

Then he turned his head and left, but when he heard a "clang", Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, knocked down all these meals, and kept scolding: "Is this a human meal?" The animals in this king's house eat better than this, you go and get the delicacies of the mountains and seas for this king, go quickly! ”

The jailer is also young and vigorous, and has long heard that these vassal kings have done many illegal acts in the local area, and they have done evil, and today they were punished by the emperor, which can really be described as retribution, and now I heard that he came to Dali Temple and still had a mouthful of this king, and so many requests, immediately became angry, and said coldly: "I said Lord, we eat this kind of meal, Dali Temple has no better meal than this." This is still for you for the sake of the prince, if you don't like it, I can't help it, then you can only be hungry. ”

With that, turn around and leave. Zhou Wang Zhu Hu's lungs are about to be blown up, he is pampered on weekdays, and he is used to doing evil, where has he received this kind of bird gas, he was angry, his eyes were split, and he shouted and scolded: "You bitch raised Wang Ba Lamb, did you fucking eat bear heart and leopard gall?" Dare to talk to this king like this, when this king goes out, he will definitely pick your skin and pull your tendons! ”

The jailer snorted coldly, turned and walked away, ignoring him, and came to the place where the jailer ate, where there were three people before, and there were four of them, and they happened to gather around the table, and ate good wine and food.

However, the prince's scolding had not disappeared, he was obviously angry, and his scolding was hoarse, as ugly as it could be, and he greeted all the eight generations of the jailer's ancestors.

The jailer was young in the end, after he scolded him like this, he couldn't help it, Huo Di got up from the stool, picked up the guy and walked inside, and scolded and said in his mouth: "It's really evil, no one has ever dared to go wild here, I want to see what the flesh and skin of this phoenix dragon grandson are made of?" Is it hard or not? ”

Just two steps away, I suddenly heard a deep and powerful voice behind me shouting, "Come back!" You sit down for Lao Tzu! ”

The oldest of the jailers spoke, probably in his forties, with a big beard and a very fierce look. The young jailer was obviously very afraid of this person, and immediately stopped his steps, but he still said very aggrievedly: "Master, it's not that I don't listen to you, you see his virtue, who can stand being scolded like that?" ”

The middle-aged jailer still shouted with a tiger face: "If you sit down, you will sit down, Lao Tzu is saving your life, do you know?" What's wrong with him scolding? Can you have less meat on you? Who can live in the world without being scolded? ”

The young jailer's face was full of reluctance, but he still did not dare to disobey his master's orders, and sat down with a pouting and a face full of grievances.

The middle-aged jailer poured him a bowl of wine, and then taught earnestly: "There is a saying called intimate intimacy, have you heard of it? No matter how fierce the few of them are, it is also a family matter of the old Zhu family, and it has nothing to do with you? What are you going to mix blindly? Even if you beat the master inside, the emperor will read your love and give you a promotion? Don't dream, that's someone's own uncle? Which green onion are you? Can the Emperor remember your last name? ”

The young jailer was still not convinced, and said, "He scolded us so openly, let's just endure it?" Isn't that too much? ”

"What is a nest? What is the pouch? The middle-aged jailer was so angry that he threw the chopsticks in his hand on the young jailer's head, and scolded in a tone of hatred: "People are phoenixes and dragon grandchildren, are there few people who have been scolded in this life?" Have you never heard of it or something? When the first emperor was in power, even if it was a big official sent by the imperial court, these vassal kings still wantonly insulted, what's wrong with scolding you? Ordinary people can't get scolded enough? I can tell you, things in this world are inaccurate, don't look at him now offended the emperor and is in trouble, but in the end, he is the grandson of Fengzi and Long, maybe one day he will reconcile with the emperor and go out again to be a vassal king. If you hit him today, will he not hold a grudge against you? When the time comes, I can go out and find a random reason to kill you, you know? ”

"It doesn't matter if it's the emperor or the vassal king. These people are all high immortals to us, and they are immortals fighting, what does it matter to you? You nobody, no matter who you help, people will not remember you, on the contrary, no matter who you offend, people will remember you to death, saying that you are a dog and a man, and you will fall into the well. These immortals can make you die ten times if you breathe casually, what do you say you are doing with their affairs? ”

"Therefore listen to your master, put away your pride, calm your own anger, drink as you ought, and do as you ought to be on errands. When the time comes, no matter who wins or loses, you will be invincible, anyway, no matter who becomes the emperor, he always needs to be an errand, right? ”

The young jailer nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Master, I understand. Thanks to Master's guidance, I was able to save myself from calamity. ”

"It's good to understand, it's good to understand. Come on, let's continue to drink, let's not offend the master inside, wait for him to be angry, and then buy him some delicious food and send it in. When the middle-aged jailer saw that the apprentice had opened his mind, he pursed his lips and smiled very proudly, and continued to beckon his subordinates to eat meat and drink.

The mentality of this jailer is the general mentality of the generals on Emperor Jianwen's side during the Battle of Jingjing, many of them have an attitude that nothing to do with themselves and no one wants to be offended, and after Emperor Jianwen succeeded to the throne, he blindly improved the status of Wenchen and suppressed the status of military generals, which led to many military generals being dissatisfied with him.

A typical representative is Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, this benevolent brother is also a fierce general, when he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, he experienced more than 70 battles, captured and killed more than 10,000 people in total, and was wounded by more than 70 people, so he was named a marquis, but during the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Yunwen sent him to fight Zhu Di, but he returned in vain, and his level suddenly decreased so much, which has to be doubtful.

Zhu Yuanzhang has a great talent in his life, and his counterattack is very remarkable, in fact, he has two points: the first is to control all the resources to fight against strong enemies to the greatest extent, and the second is to appoint those who work hard for him, and formulate high rewards and severe punishments to coerce and lure his soldiers to give him death and squeeze out every drop of their value, which is why there is the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't believe that one person can change history, and even more despises the role of those so-called civil servants and strategists, and the other party is not a fool without a long brain, you can scare people away by singing an empty city plan casually? Just come and lure the enemy deep into the crowd and you will be fooled? If you can win the world in this way, then the world is too cheap.

What he likes is the kind of real person who works hard, as long as you are willing to contribute, it doesn't matter if you are stupid, just work for a while, you can always finish the work, but no matter how smart you are, you can't finish your work. From this point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang is not much different from a landlord and old wealth.

In fact, we only need to think about it with our heads, we will know that it is definitely not so easy, Guo Ying mentioned earlier, such a big official, or Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law, still suffered more than 70 injuries, which shows how difficult the war was back then. It's just that these great battles have not been recorded in the history books, and the history books written by the literati must of course highlight their role, so they will only record the battle of Chibi, the battle of Weishui, and other examples of battles that relied on a certain amount of luck and the wisdom of the literati strategists to win the war. And there are very few such examples, so we saw a hanging Zhu Yuanzhang, and Liu Bowen, who was worshiped as a god for no reason, but did not see Li Shanchang, who worked hard behind his back to raise grain and grass for him and train the army; I didn't even see the generals and colonels who fought for him on the battlefield and stained the battlefield with blood, these people were all brushed off by them.

Zhu Yunwen inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's throne, but Zhu Yuanzhang's methods were not inherited at all, he believed in the Confucian set of harmful chicken soup, paid attention to ethereal morality, first blindly cut the feudal domain to offend all the vassal kings, and lost a large part of the resources of the empire, resulting in a situation that could have besieged Zhu Di, and it became a one-on-one confrontation between him and Zhu Di.

But even so, he may not lose, because he is the emperor, occupies the position of the unification, and has a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, but after he succeeded to the throne, he reused the group of civil officials who could only play tricks, and despised the generals who worked hard for him, resulting in these people not wanting to work for him, and many people did not contribute to work, and even directly surrendered to King Yan, making Zhu Di stronger and stronger, but his side lost more and won less.

In the end, coupled with the whistleblowing of the eunuch he had been abusing all the time, he finally lost the world.

It is said that Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, scolded in the dim cell for a long time, and finally had no strength, and sat at the foot of the wall, thinking of all kinds of luxurious and corrupt lives before, looking at the current dim cell, the situation of life can really be different, thinking of this layer and crying unconsciously.

After a while, he shouted loudly, "Yun Wei, Yun Wei." Do you really want to do this to me? I'm your own uncle! ”

"I want to face the saint, I want to face the saint. There must be a misunderstanding here, Yun Wei is a good boy, how could he do this to me! ”

He yelled and scolded the cell for a long time, and never saw a figure coming, he accepted the reality and understood that he was completely abandoned by his eldest nephew, and from then on, he was afraid that he would have no chance with the royal family, and could only be a pawn of a peddler that everyone could bully. Are you really so ruthless? I'm your own uncle, what can't the family say? Are there any knots that can't be unraveled? Does it have to be that way? ”

"When you were a child, I hugged you and kissed you. Do you still remember, every time your fifth aunt and I went to the capital from Kaifeng to visit your father, we didn't forget to buy a lot of good things for you and Yunxi, when you were still young, you liked these gadgets, have you forgotten? Have you forgotten everything? Forgot about it...... Woooooooo ”

The four guards outside the prison couldn't help but stop their glasses and let out a long sigh when they heard him say so sadly.

A few days later, Zhu Yunwen issued a holy decree to abolish Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, as a concubine and move to Menghua, Yunnan, which caused a lot of shock in the world at that time.

For the deposed king of Zhou, there are generally two views in the society, one is the view of ordinary people, they are applauding this kind of thing, the king of Zhou and other vassal kings of all kinds of illegal acts have long been spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, they are very praised for the emperor's righteous act of destroying relatives, and some are not authentic and even set off firecrackers to celebrate. It can be seen from this that these sons of Zhu Yuanzhang are arrogant and domineering in the local area, and how much harm they do to the local area.

It is said that when Zhu Li, the king of Jin, passed by a small village before, he killed all the more than 200 people in this village just because he was in a bad mood, and for this, he was only reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang a little.

There is such a vassal king in charge of himself, and no one can eat or sleep, and now that the court has begun to clean them up, how can these ordinary people who have suffered greatly not applaud?

It's a pity that they can't help the future of the war.

The other is the views of the princes, their views are also divided into two categories, one is that the reason why King Zhou was deposed is completely his own reason, on the one hand, he is the half-brother of King Yan, and he has long been in collusion with King Yan, who has long had different aspirations, plus he is not honest, so he was taken away by the emperor, which belongs to a kind of incident.

The other group is conspiracy theorists, who believe that the imperial court is going to attack the vassal king, and Zhu Yunwen has long been quite jealous of their uncles who have heavy troops, and this time he is finally going to attack them.

All in all, at this time, the vassal kings were still speculating about Zhu Yunwen's purpose, and they were not completely desperate for the imperial court, and many of them still had illusions about the imperial court.

In the palace of King Yan in Beiping, King Yan knew the news of the arrest of King Zhu Hu of Zhou for the first time, after Lao Zhu abolished the Jinyi Guard, the Jinyi Guards originally placed in various parts of the Ming Dynasty had nowhere to go, and some far-sighted princes began to spend money to support them, Zhu Ao is like this, Zhu Di is also like this.

He got the news before the others through the eyes and ears he had planted in the capital, and although he was far away in Beiping, he was restless all day and night.
